Nifty earnings estimates ambitious but a weak rupee doesn’t complicate outlook: Nuvama’s Prateek Parekh | Stock Market News
The rupee has fallen 6.76% against the US dollar in 2026 and now sits near ₹95.95. Nuvama's Prateek Parekh says this actually helps earnings, since two-thirds of India Inc's topline comes from export-heavy sectors like information technology, metals and chemicals. Consumer companies may face higher input costs and margin pressure. So check how much of your company's revenue comes from exports before worrying about the rupee.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Indian rupee has depreciated 6.76% against the US dollar so far in 2026 and is currently at ₹95.95 per US dollar.
- About two-thirds of India Inc's topline comes from tradeable sectors such as information technology, commodities, industrials and chemicals, which benefit when the rupee weakens.
- Margin pressure is likely to extend into the second half of FY27 because this supply shock is broader and inventory repricing lags by roughly a quarter.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Check what share of your revenue comes from exports and what share of your costs are imported inputs, then review your margin assumptions with your accountant if the rupee weakens further. Treat any full-year estimate revision as a judgement call, not a certainty.
